You spin me right round

For those of you who may or may not be considering getting me a spinning wheel for Christmas I just thought I would tell you that I have choosen the wheel that I want. Meet the Ashford Traveler, not as small as the joy, but much sturdier and more powerful (not to mention $150 cheaper). If you are considering buying one of these babies for the holiday season there are a few things that you should know. First, I prefer the double drive model because it offers more control. I also want an unfinished wheel so that I can apply a color finishing that is to my liking. Stone's Throw Artisans on Main Street in Georgetown will order the wheel for you and offer layaway options, just don't order too late, they get backlogged around the holidays. If you are reading this entry and you are not planning on buying me a wheel, well you just wasted two minutes.
